Understanding Energy Efficiency

It’s an excruciatingly hot summer day and no matter what you do, your home will not stay cool. You have fans circulating, blinds drawn and any unnecessary lights turned off. Still, the thermostat reads a toasty 10 degrees higher than the temperature you set. Sound familiar?

You have likely heard the term “energy efficiency” before, but you might not be aware of how much having non-energy efficient windows can cost you throughout the year.

The Benefits of Energy Efficient Products

In short, energy efficiency allows you to decrease the amount of energy you use — without sacrificing an amenity.

Energy efficient products save homeowners, businesses and large industries a significant amount of money every year.

When heating and cooling systems, appliances and lighting products can reduce the amount of energy they use, fewer greenhouse gases seep into the environment.

Some energy efficient products, such as windows and doors keep a home or commercial building much more comfortable during extreme weather conditions.

Here at Window World, we believe our customers should never have to sacrifice quality, comfortability or affordability. With our energy efficient products, you can have it all.
